The four hundred and ninetieth chapters are turned upside down
"Brother, why are you so anxious?"
Yang Lin, with wet hair, asked as he came in. Yang Jian held the chair and tried to stand up, but Yang Lin held down his shoulders.
"Brother, you are finally back. Brother, I can't hold you any longer. Our official wants to abdicate."
"What? Abdicate?" Yang Lin frowned and said: "I abdicated twice in half a year. Aren't I kidding Sheji? No, absolutely not. Besides, there is no one more suitable than him. The official family is Emperor Shenzong.
His son, the younger brother of Zhezong, a noble man from Tianhuang, is worthy of a high position."
Yang Jian smiled bitterly and said: "How come we don't know, but our official family only wants to abdicate and give up the throne to King Zhao Huan."
King Ding Zhao Huan, also known as Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, was the emperor for one year but was a prisoner for thirty years.
Yang Lin pondered for a moment and said: "This matter must not be done. Changing the throne will definitely cause people's hearts to wander. In addition, King Ding is young. There are many people in the country who are plotting to restore the country. Yunzhou and Hanoi have not been recovered yet, and the Jurchens may at any time
I can't take the risk of making a comeback. I will go to the official's house to persuade him someday, but it is an unrealistic idea to let him go."
Yang Jian nodded, pursed his lips and sighed: "You have to hold on tight, the old Zhao family are not ordinary people, ordinary people can do some earth-shattering things."
Listening to this old man's words, Yang Lin burst out laughing: "Don't worry, old man, it's not easy for him to get up to the throne, and it's even harder to get down. If we don't nod, the officials won't be able to get the throne."
Yang Lin now has this self-confidence. He is surrounded by himself like an iron barrel. The sealing of news is just an order. Don't say you want to take the Zen position. As long as you shake your head, the emperor will even send the order out of the palace.
Disaster.
After sending Yang Jian out of the door, Yang Lin returned to the inner courtyard with a gloomy face. Now is the most critical time. It doesn't matter who is the emperor. The important thing is not to cause trouble.
The audition in Dali was very successful. Next, it will be promoted to the whole country, which will be an earth-shaking change.
By then, countless people will jump out to oppose, and they are all vested interests in the current policy. After hundreds of years of accumulation, these families have long become behemoths, and they will inevitably become entangled and become enemies of themselves.
.
Back in the study, Yang Lin lay down on his soft body and began to think quietly.
When implementing the New Deal in the Song Dynasty, where did you start? This reform can be said to be completely subversive. Who can be won over, and who are determined to fight against you to the end?
This difficult reform road is bound to be the most difficult at the beginning. Once it starts to develop, countless people will follow and work for the New Deal.
Yang Lin opened his eyes and said loudly: "Here comes someone."
The study door creaked, and Xu Saiyue came in from the outside, wearing a pink jacket and skirt, with a flushed face. Yang Lin stretched out his hand and touched it. His hands were cold, and he warmed her cheeks with his hands, and scolded: "No need to do that in the future."
Wait outside, go to the study, and don't make too much noise."
Xu Saiyue nodded with a smile, raised her face and said, "I'm just afraid that it will disturb Dalang's business."
Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said: "Put three small tables next to my desk. Those of you who are literate can sit here and help me write and draw if you have nothing to do."
Mr. Cai Jing was specially approved by the emperor to work with maids in Mingtang. A group of lively "secretaries" accompanied him to handle government affairs. He only needed to talk about anything. I don't know how cool it was. Yang Lin did it more than once
Red eyes and sore teeth.
She was not that age yet, so she definitely couldn't do the same thing as him in Mingtang, and she couldn't go too far in her study. Xu Saiyue only felt that Yang Lin felt sorry for her, and her heart was sweet, so she sat on Yang Lin's lap and put her face against her.
on his chest.
Yang Lin wrapped her fingers around her black silk hair and continued, "Let Yun Niang find someone to help me make a big cardboard. It must be big enough."

Winter nights are extremely long, it’s already the fifth watch, and it’s still pitch black.
Zhaodefang has been busy for a long time. The master of the house has returned, and the leisure time is no longer the same as before.
Several maids carried porcelain basins and soap locusts for washing, waiting for Yang Lin to get up, and then prepared to go to the morning court.
Young Prime Minister Yang Lin made his first morning court appearance after returning to Beijing, attracting everyone's attention. On the way, Yang Lin showed his head from the carriage and asked: "Lu Qian, when did the people who went to Youyan set out to mobilize troops?"
Lu Qian thought for a moment and said, "Young Zai, let's send someone out when we're halfway there. Judging by the speed of a horse, we should be back in a few days."
Yang Lin nodded and lowered the car curtain. If you ask yourself, what is the first step? Of course, it is to strengthen Bianliang's force to deal with all situations that may occur.
This time, Yang Lin transferred back a troop of soldiers and horses from Youyan, totaling no more than 10,000 people. In addition to the 60,000-reborn Imperial Guards of the Beijing Camp, there were also 10,000 soldiers and horses of various ethnic groups in the northwest, for a total of 80,000 people.
Although the number of these 80,000 Han soldiers was greatly reduced compared to the original 600,000 forbidden troops, their combat power was unknown. The reform was destined to be full of thorns, difficulties, and even dangers.
If it weren't for the protection of these soldiers, Yang Lin would not dare to let go and do something drastic.
Everyone was waiting for this thunder to shake the entire Song Dynasty, and sure enough, Yang Lin did not disappoint them.
After Shaozai auditioned for the New Deal in Dali, his first performance in Beijing was a ground-breaking event.
"In our great Song Dynasty, the government is like a cow's hair, the army is like gravel, the roads are like gravel, the officials are too many, and it is difficult to make ends meet. The minister proposes to abolish the original two-level system of prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, to abolish the restraint system where all ethnic groups in the southwest live together, and to divide the country into nine provinces.
Long, Shandong, Hebei, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jingchu, Sichuan, Lingnan, Yunnan and Guizhou, plus Dali, Tubo, and the three protective prefectures of the Western Regions, and Kaifeng Prefecture was specially designated as the Gyeonggi Province. In this way, Song Dynasty 13
Each province has a governor of the third rank who is in charge of military affairs and a governor of the third rank in charge of civil affairs.
Each prefecture below the provincial level has a prefect, and each state has a prefect, all of whom are of the fourth rank. The assistant officials include Tongzhi, Tongpan, etc., who are in charge of the government affairs of the government, including military management, patrolling, food management, agriculture, water conservancy, etc.
Farming, herding horses, etc.
There are counties under the prefecture, and each county has a magistrate, the seventh rank, and the auxiliary officials include the county magistrate, the chief registrar, etc.
In addition, there will no longer be any more officials. Officials below the fifth rank will be in office when they reach fifty years old, and they are not allowed to retain their official positions."
As soon as he said this, the entire palace was in an uproar, and even his fans couldn't keep up.
Ma Kuo stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "I second the proposal."
This voice woke up Yang Lin's confidants who were still tasting the food, and everyone came out to second their opinions.
Zhang Shangying and others have known this for a long time. In fact, Yang Lin drew a rough diagram and everyone worked together to perfect it.
In the Daqing Hall, Zhao Si listened in confusion. For him, military and state affairs seemed so obscure and difficult to understand.
Zhao Si, who was born as a prince, was not even very familiar with the administrative system of the Song Dynasty.
Seeing that everyone in the palace was in favor of the proposal, Zhao Si said happily: "In that case, it's your choice."
Those below the fifth rank must return to their hometown to serve as official officials when they reach the age of fifty. I don’t know how many officials have to bid farewell to their official positions in advance.
Of course, these people are not of a high level and cannot enter the Daqing Palace, but after the news spreads, there will probably be mourning all over the place.
To be an official in the Song Dynasty, it is best to work until death, because officials in the Song Dynasty are simply too comfortable, especially civil servants with Jinshi background.
Yang Lin breathed a long sigh of relief and stood in the main hall. Hearing the noise, his heart felt much more relaxed.
In any case, this first step has been taken, and the next steps will be carried out to bring about an earth-shaking reform in this vast country.

The sun is shining brightly and the spring breeze is chilly.
There is a huge water tank placed in the White Tiger Hall of the Privy Council. Several koi fish open their mouths and spit out bubbles, bulging their eyes at the 'bad guy' who is holding the fish food but never drops it.
Gao Bing is now rising, and he has replaced his father and ascended to the position of palace commander. He weighed the fish food in his hand and listened to the goings on around him. Gao Bing thought to himself: Po Han Wu doesn’t know who he will send.
When I come to Bianliang, if this guy is so shameless and comes back by himself, will he be able to keep his position as the newly acquired palace commander?
The current palace commander controls 60,000 imperial troops. Although it is only in name, it is still prestigious enough. It can be said that it is one of the most noble official positions in the court. I am young and sitting in this position inevitably feels guilty.
He has made many military exploits during his five campaigns in the south and north of Korea. This guy can't be so shameless, right?
Just as Gao Bing sighed, the voice of his subordinates came from outside: "Commander of the Palace, Commander of the Youyan Horse Army, Hu Yantong, would like to see you."
Gao Bing's face softened, he smiled happily, and came out in person: "Where is General Hu Yan?"
When I walked outside, I saw a big man as tall as a tower and as strong as a mountain, with a beard on his face and a brave look, standing in the yard and looking around.
"Haha, General Huyan, I've been waiting for you." Gao Bing said affectionately with a bright face.
Hu Yantong was flattered. He did not expect that after Gao Yanei became a high official, he would not forget his old brother. He had only met him a few times in Youyan, but he could be treated with such courtesy.
Thinking back to that arrogant Han Wu, who suppressed himself at every turn, he was no longer a human being.
Hu Yantong, who was moved in his heart, cupped his fists and said, "I have seen Gao Dianshuai at last."
"We are all our brothers. Why are we so polite? This time General Huyan returned to Beijing under the orders of Shaozai?"
Hu Yantong nodded. It turned out that Yang Lin was afraid that Han Shizhong would give up the challenge and ran back to fulfill his ideal of being a deputy privy envoy, so he appointed Hu Yantong to Beijing by name in advance.
This fierce general is Yang Lin's confidant. Youyan's majestic appearance on the battlefield was too stunning several times. With him by his side, I felt more at ease.
Fanlou, elegant room.
Several empty wine jars were scattered around the table. Hu Yantong, whose face was red, burped from the wine and picked up the wine bowl, "Come on, Yameni, have another bowl."
Gao Bian's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I can't."
Hu Yantong laughed loudly and said: "Yameni, this time I have seen clearly who can be trusted and who can be subordinated. What I didn't say, my life will belong to the young master and the yameni from now on. But if you have orders, I will take care of both sides."
A sword is always available."
"Young Zai?" Hu Yantong suddenly exclaimed, slapping his forehead and saying: "That's bad, the Young Zai told me to go see him first after entering the capital. Why did I forget about it when I saw Ya Nei? I will definitely be punished this time.
He scolded me."
Gao Bing was so drunk that he kept his position as palace commander. As long as Han Shizhong didn't come to snatch it away, he was not afraid of anyone. It didn't matter that Po Han Wu's achievements were great, the key was that Shaozai's direct descendants came from a west
Those who are promoted from military soldiers will inevitably be trusted more.
After hearing these words, he smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I will take you to the young master's house to make sure that nothing happens to you. The young master will still give me this face."
The two of them were hugging each other, except Fan Lou, who immediately woke up from the drunkenness when the cold wind blew.
Gao Bing became a little more sober, and secretly regretted in his heart. Why did he let this rough man drink so much in his excitement? If he followed him to Zhaodefang, wouldn't he also be scolded?
The big talk was spread out, and it was impossible not to go. Gao Bian could only bite the bullet and come to Zhaodefang with anxiety.
In the flower hall, two little maids brought tea, and the two drunk men looked at each other, both a little frightened.
After a while, Yang Lin walked quickly, followed by a plump woman. As Yang Lin walked, he turned back and said: "Several posts must be delivered to each house before tomorrow. No one can be delayed."
Yun Niang nodded repeatedly and entered the flower hall. The smell of wine hit her face.
"Hu Yantong! You are such a thief, why did you drink like this? I didn't ask you to come to me when you came to Beijing."
Huyan Tongtian was not afraid of anything, and he lowered his head angrily, not daring to speak.
The high handle on the side was also a little afraid, but the cowhide had already been blown off, so he could only rely on the strength of the wine to bite the bullet and said: "Young Master, calm down, General Huyan and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss him very much. He is anxious.
He was on the road and didn't eat for a whole day and night, so the official took him to have some food and wine."
Only then did Yang Lin notice Gao Bing, his face softened a little, and he even said with a smile: "There were so many things going on in the court, I was so busy that I didn't even see Yanei. Since you drank with Yanei,
For the sake of my office, I won’t argue with a rough guy like you. If you dare to defy my orders like this next time, I will teach you to push a trolley to deliver military rations to Cochin."
Yang Lin attaches great importance to Gao Shan. Even if he is not good at writing or military, he is very useful at critical moments. When used in the right place, it can be compared with an army of 200,000. Especially when dealing with Song and Liao affairs, this is an absolute card.
Ace. The future recovery of the six military states in Hanoi cannot be said to be entirely dependent on this person.
Hu Yantong, as if he had been granted amnesty, grinned and said, "I don't dare to do that anymore."
Gao Bing did not expect that he would be so proud, and his heart warmed, and he said: "What are the orders from the young master? General Huyan and I will definitely not miss the important event of the young master."
"Outside the Bianliang Jing camp, the remaining 20,000 troops and horses will be divided into two battalions: the east and west. The east will be commanded by Hua Rong, and the west will be left to you. You only listen to my orders."
Hu Yantong clasped his fists to accept the order, but Gao Bing had already begun to think about it. Shao Zai had poked a hole in the sky a few days ago, so it seemed that he was not completely unafraid.
